adidas Terrex hiking shoes 10.5 UK

A reinforced toe cap gives the adidas Terrex Anylander a little extra protection at the front, while the textile upper keeps the construction focused on walking rather than looking like a heavy boot.

RAIN.RDY is included, alongside a Traxion outsole and an EVA midsole. That combination makes these hiking shoes worth considering for regular walks where a shoe feels more suitable than a bulky boot.

The fit is listed as regular, with a lace closure. One detail to keep in mind: the stated weight is for a UK 8.5, not the UK 10.5 size named here.

Technical details

The upper is textile with a reinforced toe cap, and the inside has a textile lining. Underfoot, the EVA midsole has a 10 mm drop, with a 27 mm heel and 17 mm forefoot. The outsole is Traxion, and the product contains at least 20% recycled and renewable content.

RAIN.RDY is part of the specification, but no waterproof rating or further weather-performance detail is given. Treat it as a useful named feature rather than a reason to assume these will suit prolonged wet conditions. The weight listed is 390 g in UK 8.5, so it should not be read as the exact weight of the UK 10.5 pair.

Getting the most from it

For a day walk on mixed paths, the lace-up design lets you adjust the hold, while the reinforced toe cap may be welcome when the route gets stony or uneven. The regular fit is a straightforward starting point, but it will not tell you whether the shoe suits a particularly broad or narrow foot, fit is personal, so sizing information matters.

A solid pick if you want a hiking shoe with a textile upper, a named weather feature and an outsole designed for traction, without moving straight to a taller boot. Compared with a basic everyday trainer, it has more explicitly hiking-focused details. Compared with more technical footwear, the available information is thinner: there is no stated waterproof rating, specialist support feature or outsole-lug detail to judge against tougher routes.

Usage tips

Lace them securely before setting off, especially if your walk includes slopes, and check that your toes have room when walking downhill. For example, on a local route that moves from a pavement to a gravel path, the toe reinforcement and Traxion outsole are relevant details, they are not, by themselves, a guarantee of comfort or grip on every surface. If you expect long, wet outings or demanding terrain, look for clearer information about weather protection and the shoe’s intended conditions before deciding.

Practical doubts

Are these confirmed waterproof? The listing names RAIN.RDY, but gives no waterproof rating, so that specific level of protection cannot be confirmed from the details provided.

Is 390 g the weight for UK 10.5? No. The stated figure is for size UK 8.5, the weight for UK 10.5 is not supplied.

What does the 10 mm drop mean? It is the difference between the heel and forefoot heights: 27 mm at the heel and 17 mm at the forefoot.

Should you buy it?

These make sense if you want a lace-up hiking shoe with a regular fit, a reinforced toe and a stated recycled-content share, and your walks do not demand specifications absent from the listing. Not the best choice if a confirmed waterproof rating, detailed support information or a weight for your exact size is essential. The maker’s named features give you a useful starting point, but those missing details should shape the decision.
